The only problem I sense with hobbies becoming work is that a hobby is usually something that is persued because it is a change and relaxation from everyday working life. Something that is indulged in on weekends or holidays. When it becomes a fulltime occupation, it soon loses its appeal. Believe me - I know! Been there done that - and within 12 months I was keen to get back into the workforce again.
But, hey, it might just work for someone else. Especially if there is no workforce to get into. Go fishing maybe? Now that's something I could become interested in and any surplus catch could be traded. But how would you feel if day after day there was no, or very few, catches? Best sit tight and see which way the cookie crumbles.
